Wicked war obviously refers to the fight between the state forces and the rebels, inter-ethnic group clashes and the conflict between the indigenous people and the foreign settlers. Violence in Manipur affects the poets from other states too. Meghalaya poet Kharmawphlang sees Imphal as a place where the “blood of the young/runs easily, and the old, too tired /to cry for slain sons “Poets are alive to the reality of the strife-torn land. Iralu finds that the Nagaland of blue hills and mighty warriors has now turned into battle-scarred lands. Poets like Ngangom carry in their consciousness the image of a violent, strife-torn land in Nagaland, Manipur or any other state.But she as well as some other poets like Mamang Dai also believes in human resilience and determination to fight death and go on living:Those who face death everyday and go on living with renewed vigour have contempt for death.
Poets of the region have also ventured beyond strife and violence to address other issues and other aspects of life and the world. The same poet also talks of wooing wind.
